The past two days have brought about many new endeavors for Alex. A few weeks ago, I went in to his room in the middle of the night to find him standing in his crib. We hadn’t yet lowered his mattress, and needless to say, it got lowered rather quickly. Since we had lowered it, he hadn’t been standing up in his crib anymore. Two nights ago, Adam went in to check on him and there he was… standing at the end of his crib again. At least this time, the railing isn’t at his belly… now it’s at his chin. We don’t have to worry about him toppling out.
Alex has also really been trying to pull himself up to standing lately. He was able to stand if you stood him up against something, but struggled with pulling up himself. Last night, he seemed to master the standing up thing and was so proud of himself when he would do it. Today I took video of it. Take a look-see for yourself below. (Ignore annoying mommy voice)
As though that wasn’t cool (and exciting!) enough for him, he decided to press his luck. Look what else he can do. (Yes, he does start by falling.)
Kids are absolutely amazing. When you think about how much you learned during your first year, don’t you feel like you’ve been a slacker ever since?
